Default Legend Front and Rear Thoughts!?

I would like some thoughts and views on Legend Suspension.. I have a 2017 SGS. I purchased it with 2500 miles and I was given all of the OEM take-offs. I would like to know if Legend is worth keeping for the long haul. or if I should keep the OEM in a corner just for Chits-n-Giggles
It has front (-1" 0414-0517) and rear (Revo-A BLK 12" 1310-0958) dealer installed before new delivery

So you are taking the Legends off? May I ask why? I have a 2015 RGU with 60K miles and am looking to replace my suspension for better handling and ride.

I am not taking it off. Just asking opinions on it in general. Being the OEM front and rear suspension was replaced before delivery. Never heard much about legend and I plan on keeping the bike. So I was wanting a little input is all

The original equipment suspension makes a good paper weight. The Legends should offer you a much better ride.
